Forecasts

Costanuci (11/4), Good As Hell (9/2), Emily In Paris (13/2), Rathnaleen Kal (7/1), Atimetodream (7/1), Call Her Now (15/2), Sea Aster (9/1), No Fussing (10/1), Buttons And Bows (10/1), The Moon Sea's Me (12/1), Happywifehappylife (12/1), Fizzle Rock (14/1), Phils Choice (14/1), Stormalong (16/1), Double Pink (16/1), Glendars Mahler (20/1), Killinure Lass (20/1), Cash The Cheque (20/1), All Walks Of Life (25/1)

Plenty in with a chance but GOOD AS HELL has been an improved model over fences this summer so, from her very attractive hurdles mark, she could be the answer with the distinct possibility of more to come in this sphere. Atimetodream, Sea Aster and Emily In Paris head up the dangers.
